Daily Reading Plan - Second Year Preface - Job censureth the arrogant pretensions of his friends to superior knowledge: he sheweth that wicked men often prosper under the hand of God; he acknowledgeth the divine wisdom and omnipotency. Job 12 Preface - Paul commendeth Phebe to the Christians at Rome, and sendeth salutations to many by name. He warneth them to take heed of those who cause divisions and offences. After sundry salutations, he concludeth with praise to God. Romans 16 Daily Light - Morning Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. The man Christ Jesus. - Made in the likeness of men...found in fashion as a man. - Forasmuch...as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. - Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. - What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? - He raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. - In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God. Ezek. 1.26; 1 Tim. 2.5; Phil. 2.7,8; He. 2.14 Rev. 1.18; Ro. 6.9-10; Jn. 6.62; Eph. 1.20; Col. 2.9 2 Co. 13.4 Daily Light - Evening Thy word hath quickened me. The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself. - I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. In him was life; and the life was the light of men...As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. - The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Ps. 119.50; 1 Co. 15.45 Jn. 5.26; Jn. 11.25-26 Jn. 1.4,12-13 Jn. 6.63; He. 4.12 A Puritans Catechism Q 13 - Did our first parent continue in the estate wherein they were created? A - Our first parents, being left to the freedom of their own will, fell from that initial state wherein they were created, by sinning against God, by eating the forbidden fruit. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Repentance unto Life and Salvation Chapter 15 PARAGRAPH 2 Whereas there is none that does good and does not sin, 2 and the best of men may, through the power and deceitfulness of their corruption dwelling in them, with the prevalency of temptation, fall in to great sins and provocations; God has, in the covenant of grace, mercifully provided that believers so sinning and falling be renewed through repentance unto salvation. 3 2 Eccles. 7:20 3 Luke 22:31–32 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The spring of the soul And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his first-born....In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. Zechariah 12 v 10; 13 v 1 In these words you have a description of the conversion of the Jews, which is yet to come - an event that will give life to this dead world. But God's method is the same in the conversion of any soul. Conversion is the most glorious work of God. The creation of the sun is a very glorious work - when God first rolled him flaming along the sky, scattering out golden blessings on every shore. The change in spring is very wonderful - when God makes the faded grass revive, the dead trees put out green leaves, and the flowers appear on the earth. But far more glorious and wonderful in the conversion of a soul! It is the creation of a sun that is to shine for eternity; it is the spring of the soul that shall know no winter; the planting of a tree that shall bloom with eternal beauty in the paradise of God.
